Unavoidable Evolution
The 5 devices that lead to success in weight loss (and how to ditch 6 of the mobile apps you are trying to use now)
Losing weight today feels different than it used to be because of significant advancements we've made in science. In this incredible documentary THE MAGIC PILL, the fad of keto dieting is given the context it deserves. The scientists parallelled the pre-super market age when flavoring was drawn from the earth rather than in a chemistry lab.
Patients using the SindyXR apps report also using seven other mobile apps to track and assist with their weight loss journey. 11% of the country is reportedly all-in on telemedicine for their doctor's visits assuming the appointment doesn't require physical contact. Weigh-in, blood pressure, and lab work are all taken care of and reported to the provider before the appointment. This allows the doctor to see a time-lapse "video" of your heart health continuously throughout the weeks or months since they saw you last.
This is unprecedented in modern medicine; the data is accurate thanks to the medical devices we now have in our homes, but how many devices are truly necessary? Weight loss is a fad industry, and so many of you have been fighting against negative body image since 4th grade. We will all go to great lengths to pause the self-hatred and curb the onslaught in our minds of how we eat&feel three times a day.
One patient prescribed the Sindy apps was at a corporate breakfast buffet. She made a full plate of eggs and felt a win passing up the bread, but she wasn't finished eating when the host suggested everyone mingle. As they chatted, her plate sat on the table, getting cold. She could not stop glancing at it longingly out of the corner of her eye. And then it became embarrassing. As the room emptied an hour later, the patient was distraught about how the plate of food had diminished the joy of the networking and how it controlled her.
The Sindy Check Yo Self mobile app was in her pocket and provided a slight auto-correction. She played one of the games, took a moment to breathe deeply, and refilled her BellaBeat smart water bottle. Somehow this helped to affirm the success of the networking and diminish the perceived failure. It also provided a quantifiable score, noting her stress, self-esteem at the time of her steps so far, hydration, and quality of sleep by that morning.
The Sindy app is a powerful tool for her nutritionist as well. The incident felt trivial at their telemedicine meetup on her laptop the following Monday morning. Still, the leaderboard informed the provider, and they could see the win. By then, they also had data showing successes from her at-home scale, and the heart rate peaks while she exercised four times that week with Supernatural. Win-win-win. So how many devices are really necessary? Let’s look at a few that should be popular:
OCULUS - TRACKABLE - WEARABLE - MOBILE - PRESCRIPTION
Oculus Quest Virtual Reality headset for exercise, meditation and tele-med visits.
Oura ring is even better than a smartwatch and goes with any outfit.
Withings blood pressure monitor works with the Sindy mobile app to triangulate your medical data.
Lumen metabolism breathalyzer is often accompanied by 7+ apps which can be consolidated.
Dexcom glucose monitor is built into any SindyVR appointment when prescribed by your medical provider.

Do you have the best technology available to you for weight loss, fitness, and general health?
Technology is moving forward quickly, and while you think you're operating on the cutting edge, the truth may surprise you. The future of weight loss isn't in the form of a red or blue pill. The future of fitness isn't the machine you attach to your wall or the expensive bike you can ride every morning. The future of health and wellness is immersive, life-changing, yet you've probably heard of it before.
The healthcare industry is always on the cutting edge of technological advancements. Think about the process of visiting your primary care doctor or the hospital; is it engaging or lackluster? While some offices stay with more affordable legacy technology and practices, most of the industry is looking to pioneer new ways to engage with and retain patients. Patients and Doctors want to ensure that they use the best tools and resources available.
"WHAT SHOULD WE LOOK FOR? WHAT SHOULD WE DO?"
The answer is to embrace the natural progression of technology and get ahead of the curve. Society has transitioned from telegram to facsimile, email, and now texting. Face-to-face interactions aren't as necessary when you can make a phone call, and now you can even have a "virtual appointment" through zoom or facetime.

In contrast, the idea of virtual appointments has saved doctors and patients during this unprecedented time of covid-19. The patient-doctor experience can improve by using existing technology and virtual meetings in virtual reality. Have you ever considered using virtual or extended reality in your healthcare practices? Virtual Reality (VR) is inevitable. Once upon a time, we lived in a world where virtual reality was a movie trend or the writing of a science fiction author. What was once fiction is now a very present reality in life and a growing force in healthcare.
EXTENDED REALITY IS HERE AND NOW.
It's not the far-off futuristic ideal that we see in the movies. It's present and changing the way we do everything. - The Covid-19 pandemic has caused people to reach for technology and has fundamentally changed the way we interact for the better. We have successfully integrated technology via Extended reality to make a massive splash in health and fitness. - How do you use technology to make your life better?
THE NEXT BIG THING IN HEALTHCARE IS SINDY XR.
The way Sindy XR used virtual, extended, and augmented reality is cutting edge and creating a new class of healthcare. Healthcare is just one of the industries that are pioneering this adventure, and we're changing the world with our technology. Sindy XR has found the best way to connect, network, learn more about your physical self and explore a new way to get in shape while also providing opportunities for people to connect and engage in more authentic ways.
Have you ever considered using virtual reality to change your physical world? Using virtual meeting rooms to connect, network, and even learn is far better than not connecting and learning. There are so many reasons why people cannot meet face to face these days, and they are not all pandemic related. Virtual reality in healthcare is unavoidable, and you should ask yourself, "Am I really doing all I can to better my health and overall healthcare experiences"? If the answer is no, companies like Sindy can help you navigate that small leap.
Sincerely,
Sindy.
